abwsco Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yesterday afternoon I went over on one of my ankles in one of the craters the girls have dug I hadn't realised the the hole was frozen solid so my fault really as I walked on the side of it. By mid evening I couldn't put any weight on my foot at all. I had to go up the stairs on my bottom to bed Really thought it would be a trip to A & E this morning as it was soooooo painful. Luckily, my ankle hasn't ballooned up and I can walk on it albeit it slowly and carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks everyone I think the combination of frozen peas on it:shock: ice gel and arnica gel have definately helped as it's feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I go go a lady for my back and she gave me ruta as she reckoned I had bruised the bone - periostial rather than ligaments - its ok most of the time but stiff! and a bit swollen still.

OMG, I'm sorry I'd no idea you broken your ankle. I've just done a search and read your post Luckily I managed to stop myself going over completely as DH was inside the house engrossed on a game on the PS3. I'd have been missed at some point but lord knows when Am not sure how I'd have got back to the house as I was in the sectioned off area of their WIR so would have had to climb over that first before I could even get out of the WIR into the garden. I made sure I took my mobile with me when I went to lock them in before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
